HOMEMADE BEST-O PESTO EVER
In all seriousness, this homemade pesto recipe has changed my level of 'chefworthiness' in the eyes of friends and family. My husband swears I could make millions off of just this recipe! Of course I am still just a wannabe cook...but this simple pesto recipe could fool the best of them! The simplicity and the quality of the ingredients is what makes it so fantastic.

PESTO FRIED EGGS
Cooking eggs in pesto is a great alternative to frying in butter and an easy way to enhance their flavor. When the pesto is heated, the oil separates from the rest of the ingredients and gives your eggs crispy, fried edges. While this dish is delicious on its own, try serving the eggs with sliced fresh tomatoes and mozzarella for a take on Caprese salad or on toasted sourdough bread for a quick meal.

Steps:
- Spread the pesto in an even layer in an 8-inch nonstick skillet; bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the eggs on top of the pesto and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; continue to cook until the egg whites are just set and the oil has separated from the pesto, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and cover with a tight-fitting lid (or a heatproof plate or a baking sheet). Let sit until the whites are completely set and the yolks are still runny, 1 to 2 minutes.
HOMEMADE PESTO
A fresh-tasting pesto that can easily be used alone on pasta, crostini, pizza; or add some to your favorite spaghetti sauce for a delicious special flavor! Use pine nuts, walnuts, or a combination of both.

SMALL BATCH DILL PESTO
Dill pesto is one of my favorite ways to kick up the flavor on broiled or baked fish. It's also very good served over grilled or roasted veggies. I used a small bunch of dill.

Steps:
- Place dill fronds (a few stems are OK), walnuts, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes into the bowl of a food processor. If you have a mini or small food processor, it will be large enough for this recipe.
- Pulse until everything is minced well, scraping down the sides as necessary. With the machine running, drizzle in the olive oil, blending for a few seconds until smooth.
- If not serving immediately, store the pesto in an airtight container and chill until ready to use.

BASIC PESTO
Pesto is a mouthful of bright summer - basil made more so. You can buy it in a jar or in the refrigerator section of your grocery story, but there is nothing better than making it yourself. Fresh basil can be found in abundance at farmers' markets in the summer. Just clean, take the stems off and throw the leaves in a food processor with nuts and garlic. Dribble in the oil and you've got a versatile sauce for pasta, chicken or fish.
